About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Kenilworth Aquatic Garden from the WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C. station: high tides about 1.05× the height, 29 min later; low tides about 1.07× the height, 10 min later.

Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
